Of course: the actual training program or an accreditation is not what you're looking for; the particular job you're training for is. Too many training companies over-emphasise the certificate itself. It's not unheard of, for instance, to obtain tremendous satisfaction from a year of studying and then find yourself trapped for decades in a job you hate, as a consequence of not performing some quality research at the beginning.

It's essential to keep your focus on where you want to get to, and create a learning-plan from that - don't do it back-to-front. Stay on target - making sure you're training for something you'll still be enjoying many years from now. We'd recommend you seek guidance and advice from an industry professional before settling on some particular study program, so there's little doubt that the specific package will give the skills necessary.

There are a number of qualification tracks to move on to after completing the 'CCNA'. Specialist fields that include security, or Wi-Fi could possibly be thought about, or perhaps the 'CCNP' ('Cisco Certified Networking Professional' ) which is rather more complex. The 'CCNP' is a rather significant step up from CCNA, & on the whole, thinking about this before you've entirely completed your 'CCNA' is not a good idea. Attain the 'CCNA' and get a job with 'Cisco' networks for one or two years ahead of moving onto any 'CCNP' training program. The only real exemption would be when you have several years of network experience already and have covered much of the very same ground as the CCNA accreditation. Really an employer will not think about you for any high level role when you haven't got a reasonable degree of CCNA level practical hands-on experience & knowledge of networks.

For a really comprehensive networking career track, you may choose to think of adding the Microsoft MCSE or MCSA to your 'A+', 'Network+' & CCNA program. With so many possibilities to pick from, a career path of this sort should invariably be discussed with an IT expert. That way you can be assured that nothing unsuitable for your requirements will be included, and nothing at all has been missed out.
